Stephanie Arcusa and Starry Sprenkle-Hyppolite (2022) IN: Climate Policy, DOI: 10.1080/14693062.2022.2094308
The authors find a complex system with at least 30 standard developing organizations proposing at least 125 standard methodologies for carbon removal from 23 different CDR activities and selling 27 different versions of certification instruments in voluntary and compliance markets. […] This mapping highlights key gaps and potential starting points for reforms to strengthen the CDR certification industry; it also underscores the need for independent oversight.
